Be it kn'own that I, MARVIN KEnADY, a citizen of the United States,-and a resident of Portland, in the county of Multnomah 7 and State of Oregon,

havemvented a new and Improved Shaving-Brush, of which the and exact description,

My invention relates to shaving brushes,

1 19 and it has for its object ,toprovide one with 'a hollow handle, forming a reservoir, which is slidably mounted. in a tubular member, to which the brush is secured, so that valve mechanism connected with the handle and the tubular" member, will be operated when the handle is-moved relatively to the tubular 'member to permit a liquid soap contained in the fountain to flow to the brush.

' Additional objects of the invention will appear in the following complete specifica:

tion, in which the preferred form of the invention is disclosed.

In the drawings similar characters of ref.

' erence indicate corresponding parts in both the views, in which 1 is a side view of the brush;

Figure 2 1s a longitudinal sectional view and Fig of Fig. 1.

By referring-to the drawings it will be seen that a collar 5 is provided having a head 6, with an openin 7 1n which the nozzle InemberS is secure The ends 9' of the sides of the collar converge outwardly, and within these sides and about the nozzle 8 the butt end 10 of the brush 11 is secured by cement 12. The nozzle 8 has an inner thread 13 with which meshes the outer thread 14;

on the 'valve tube 15] This valve tube 15 projects through an opening or port 16 in the head" 17 of the handle 18 the handle 18 being hollow to form a'reservoir 19. The head '17 has sides 20, 'which are slidably' disposed within the collar 5, the sides 20 of 'the head, 17 .havingan inner, thread 21,

which mesheswith an outer thread ,22 on the handle '18. y Y Disposed within the sides 20 of the head :17, andiheldibetween the head 17 andthe end 23,v ofrthe-handle-18;" there is a valve washer. 2, thisivalv'ewasher 24: having an opening '25,,the valve tube 15 throu h the opening 16 in the head 17- but.

In'using the invention the handle 18 is un' the reservoir 19 in the head is filled'with a liquid soap. The handle 18 is then screwed in place on the sides 20 of the head 17, when the shaving brush is ready foruse reservoir to flow to the brush necessary to hold vertical. position, with the brush 11 downward, andto press down on the handle 18.
